Well, we made it! We drove right through Montana last Wednesday and Alberta on Thursday to arrive in Marwayne at 5:01pm - just enough time to head out to our new home - a cabin - set within Jubilee Regional Park.
L O T S of snow! A winter wonderland to be sure. We have great pics but they will have to wait.
We don't have wifi there - no internet at all at the moment - so I couldn't post our pictures of the rest of the trip up - hopefully I'll be able to do that at some point but - when - is a mystery. We called the local internet provider but found out that because we are in a bowl - landscape wise - we can't reach a tower. Some research is definitely needed - or $1,300 for a new tower! Yikes!
Following three days of enjoying our new place and being out of the van, Cassia and I flew to Vancouver Island - to Victoria - to visit with my mom and sister. Ahhh - an escape from the cold to very pleasant spring temperatures here on the West Coast.
I've posted about this trip the two of us take each spring and fall a few times - which is good because I can just link them here. When visiting my mom I use a computer in their building and so I am not able to post pictures - just words.
Victoria is a beautiful city and fun to walk the streets downtown. Today, I enjoyed my solo visit there as Cassia and my mom spent the afternoon together. I took a ton of pictures to show you during my visit last April so you can see them there.
So - here is how it is for us here in Victoria our visit from September 2011 - Island Vacation - and from April 2012 - Cassia and I go to Victoria.
I can't say when we'll be back to the blog ......... ahhhh nothing like living out in the middle of not much - but our park is in a very beautiful and tranquil location - it should be a GREAT summer (as long as it is dry and there are hardly any mosquitos!)
We also have a VERY exciting plan for next winter so I'll have to get back to let you in on that!

ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic that you are back in Canada, and visiting family.
We sure hope you get some kind of internet hook up ...
Today was a sad day for us, as we watched our motor home drive away with new owners.
Nice couple from Moose Jaw, and they are very excited, so that helps.
Not sure what our next step is, but we will take our time.
Wishing you a wonderful spring and summer ... take care ... TnT
Glad you all made it home safely, looking forward to hearing more about your winter wonderland. I'll bet Rufus is right at home.
